Working Notebook
The working notebook is the daily notebook taken to class. It holds all papers and information needed each day. Any three-ring binder can serve as a working notebook; the nylon zippered type tends to last longer. Your working notebook should contain:

• A portable three-hole punch
• A zippered pouch with three holes to hold highlighters, pencils, pens, clips, "sticky notes", and other small supplies
• A monthly calender
• A ruler
• section dividers for each subject labeled homework, notes handouts, and quizzes/tests
• An assignment book

These items are available at most office supply stores in a three-hole punched format so they can easily be inserted into the notebook. This is important, because if the items are not attached in the notebook, they will get lost in backpacks or left at home or school.

One working notebook for all of your child's classes might be too large for some students, especially if they are in high school. Two medium-size notebooks with two or three subjects in each is an alternative to one large notebook. Morning classes might be placed in one, and afternoon classes might be placed in another.

Whatever alternative noted above that you choose, the important thing is that on a daily basis, you should date, three-hole punch, and file any of the school papers under the the appropriate divider for each subject. You should also note assignments in detail in this assignment book.

Prompt 4

Thanks to the internet, people have more access to more information than any other time in history. People can instantly find information on almost any topic in the time it takes to type a couple of words and click a mouse. But we often know so little about the source of this information, including its reliability and the qualifications of the person who wrote it. If we don't know its source, information is not much good to us.

1. Do people need to know the source of any information before they use it?
2. Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from reading, studies, experience, or observations.

In such a technological era we can easily look up any information and it is just as simple to deliver and receive it. It is arguable if the internet has helps us in a positive way but what is true is that it has made life easier. The internet gives anonymity to many sources of information since it can't tell when someone is lying and can be manipulated. Sources are very important especially in this era where everybody wants to remain anonymous and hide under a pseudonym. Sources are very important because they let us know how reliable a source is. With knowing the reliability of this information we lose credibility. In order to make strong points we need to be reliable so our sources need to be reliable.Sources are also very important because it lets us be certain that the information that we are is correct. When someone does not have any qualifications then the information they provide may not be correct. Accuracy is very important when trying to prove a point.

 

 

Social Equality 

I don't think society could ever be equal. It has already been established that communism is bad. I think that for people to progress there need to be some sort of social hierarchy. For a social hierarchy to be developed there needs to be differences in incomes. Without any hierarchy poeple would not strive to have a better social standing. Then with no effort made by anyone to be better the society as a whole will not flourish. Though people think that hierarchy does not exist today they are wrong because we see it daily in how people with money are treated better than those without it. Also celebrities are seen as better people even thought they are just people. There will also be differences in people but how good/bad there are seen is up to society since it is always in constant change. In terms of rights we have had more in the past 200 years than in all the time before that. Women have started getting power and now gays have rights. Since society has changed their view on people's differences so have laws and what is acceptable. Women were always seen as lesser than men but because we lived in a patriarchal society.
